about first nibs

At Raaka, chocolate is a living art. We source rare cacao varieties from around the world, conche them at low temperatures to preserve untamed flavor and infuse them with bold ingredients like saffron, lapsang souchong tea and more.

Each month, we'll send two limited edition bars and one Raaka classic along with notes on craftsmanship and sourcing from our barsmith Nate Hodge.

A First Nibs monthly membership is an unforgettable gift for any chocolate lover. We’ll help you make them feel special by including a handwritten gift note in the first box, which will arrive in a handsome muslin gift bag. Just look for the prompt as you place your order.
